The monumental publication Avant-gardeMuseum (ed. Agnieszka Pindera, Jarosław Suchan, MuzeumSztuki w Łodzi, Łódź 2020) juxtaposes and analyses fourmuseum projects: Museums of Artistic Culture in SovietRussia, the activity of the Société Anonyme in the USA,Poland’s ‘a.r.’ Group, and the Kabinett der Abstrakten, theselection criterion being that each was conceived by Avantgardeartists; additionally, in the projects’ assumptions theartists were to run the implementation of the projects.The publication has been divided into three sections:research papers, source texts, and the catalogue of documentsand works. The study of the Avant-garde museumprojects spans over four areas: the concept, collection, organization,and display. However, these issues are not isolatedin the research, but more purposefully integrated. Themain goal of the study is to show how the Avant-garde institutionalizeditself. This very thesis is reflected upon in thepresent paper. Just like the consequences of this publication:e.g., entering the Avant-garde into the canon of art historyand sanctifying its output as an unquestionable value.
